Summary: John is enjoying being despised. A double drabble.
John found it impossible to wipe the smirk off his face as he watched Jack’s team going about their business, busily checking off all their trite little security protocols, and just generally trying to make John feel as unwelcome as possible. They were taking their lead from Jack, making it clear that John was very much persona non grata.
They were just all so…loyal. The word made him shudder. Loyalty was for idiots, and Jack certainly didn’t deserve theirs, whatever lies he’d told them to suck them into his orbit. They were pretty, but stupid. But he’d put up with all their pomp and ceremony as they attempted to impress their boss.
Little things like being stripped of his weapons didn't bother John. Weapons were nice things to have, but there were plenty of other weapons in his arsenal that they couldn’t take away from him. His intellect for one, and his desirability for another.
Somehow, somewhere along the line he was going to be able to corrupt at least one of them. He hoped it might be the cute Japanese one, or better yet, the boy eye candy. That one was Jack’s favourite, so John would enjoy taking him.
